The promise of the Dream has survived, even after decades, even centuries, even millenia of opposition. The ancient Dream that a man or woman will be judged, as Martin Luther King said, on the content of their character... rather than the circumstances of their birth.
"It Does Move", as Galileo said, the planet, the human race, the dream does move... But it does not move by itself. It takes one person to convince another person, the network of conscience, one to another, to bring the Dream to life.
We are all small voices, but together we speak the future of humanity, and we hold an awesome responsibility to our home the earth
Together we must build on that dream, and move together into our common future. The inauguration of Barack Obama is a bold step towards that future, and it holds up the best of America's promise to the world. Yes, we can.
Together with our friends, yes we can. Together with our enemies, seeking understanding, yes we can.
Together with the help of the great spirit of our common destiny, Yes, We Can.
